Platform: Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Rating Category:
Content Descriptors: Mild Fantasy Violence
Rating Summary: This is a side-scrolling platformer in which players control a pair of fantastical creatures called Yarnys as they navigate environments.

The Yarnys are defeated when they are eaten by a fish, grabbed by birds, crushed by boulders, or run over by cars

I don't think we've heard anything about this since a mention a sequel was on the way. Looks like it's going to be a surprise drop? Was just posted on the ESRB site in the last day



Update: Officiallyy Announced at E3
Release: TODAY 6/9
Can be played single player or co-op
Control both characters as one if playing solo, splitting apart to solve puzzles

As if this was ever in doubt anyway.

 

[Blablurn]

nice!

 

[Clive]

Nice. The first one was a cute little adventure with some nice ideas. Sometimes not super engaging or challenging to play though but I still really enjoyed it. Looking forward to this one too,

Been radio silence on the game though. Can't find anything other than "yeah, it's coming"

And if it's been rated and ready for release during that silence then it's pretty newsworthy.

 

[Matush]

Loved the first game, happy to see what's new in the sequel.

 

[shaneo632]

Fuuuck yess

 

[KoolAid]

Aw, was hoping this year's EA Original was something new. But well, we'll get Nervous Swedish Guy again

 

[Acquiescence]

These non-spoiled game announcements are thinning out like a skein of twine.

 

[weekev]

Never got around to the first one. I really liked to concept and any screens I saw of it were gorgeous. How was it?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I figured this was coming. Another game spoiled though.

 

[Tizoc]

Neato. Still need to get around to playing the first game though.

 

[LabRat]

ahh i guess this is going to be their "indie" game later today, was hoping for something entirely new but okay

 

[manchego obfuscator]

Hopefully they'll put the original game on sale to coincide with this announcement. It's been missing from the last few Origin sales.

Visually swell but kind of dull gameplay wise.


I'm not really sure there's much to be gained from a direct sequel here. The puzzles weren't the compelling part of the game and the novelty is gone, and most indie sequels don't do well anyway. Unless it's a flat out genre change, I'd have preferred the dev had moved on to something else.

 

[Wise]

I forgot EA's conference is today. Looking forward to it

The first game wasn't great to be honest...but hopefully this one will be better

 

[Nightengale]

An Unravel sequel was already confirmed back in 2016, so this wasn't a surprise at all.

There's been no word of it tho. No previews. No footage. But it's rated for release.

That's the news here. I mentioned in the OP that we knew it was coming.

 

[Patitoloco]

E3 was the friends we made along the way.

 

[AudioEppa]

I got the first one sitting in my backlog.

 

[Fat4all]

leek my yarn

 

[kiriku]

I'm curious to see what this turns out to be. I loved the first game (I think it helped a lot that I am a Swede), but I don't think it's gonna be enough to simply make the same thing with a new story + environments. Hope they have some radical, new twist to the whole thing.

I agree, I'm just adding additional context. :P

It was a better adventure game than a platformer in my opinion. The visuals were gorgeous and it was a unique world to traverse but gameplay was rarely engaging or challenging. If you're the kind of person who enjoys traveling to a creative and beautifully crafted world and chill while admiring the great vistas then I'd recommend it. If you're the kind of person who is looking for a tight non-stop platforming action game then it is not one.

 

[PlayBee]

I really hated how the first game felt. The physics did not work well for me.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yay more Yarnboy

 

[Rodjer]

This means Unravel did really good to warrant a sequel?
3 years in development if the game is coming in 2019.

 

[forgiventhrice]

Haven't finished the first one. Loved what I have played so far. Leakiest E3 lol

 

[Neural]

So co-op?

 

[Potterson]

This is quite weird. Like, seeing a sequel to a game like this. Interesting. I hope it's something rally different gameplay-wise.

 

[Mr_F_Snowman]

Releasing a 2D side scroller on every platform besides Switch seems like an interesting business decision

 

[crookedaxis]

Niiiice! The first one made my heart so warm. <3

 

[Phil's Empty Chair]

Loved the first, just dont bring that guy back on stage.

This is how I feel. I was glad to buy it and support a project like this, but I don't know if I care to go back for more.

 

[Alethiometer]

The first game was boring and janky, so I'm hoping this one improves things.

 

[Bond]

Unravel was a great title, excited for the sequel.

 

[fieldafar]

Great news.

But are there any surprises left to announce at E3?

 

[Chocobo115]

Would be great, Loved all the "swedishness" of the general. I hope they'll keep that.
It's the main reason why I'm interested in generation zero (from the trailer it looks like My hometown)

Indeed.

 

[NeoRaider]

Great news.
But i REALLY hope they show Sea of Solitude and give a released date.

 

[Salty Rice]

Nice to hear its gonna be out really soon.

At this point you cant refresh Era without a leak popping up.

More like Leak3.

 

[purseowner]

We've nearly finished unravelling E3 and it hasn't even started yet

 

[R.T Straker]

That's great.

Looking foward to it.

Loved the first, just dont bring that guy back on stage.

Click to shrink...

What the hell? Why? Because he had emotions and was passionate about his own project?

Disgusting.

 

[Filament Star]

I don't know how you make a sequel to a game like Unravel but I hope it's good!

YES, first one was underrated.

Don't bring back the lead developer of the game who loved what he created? The industry needs passion like to help create unique and interesting experiences, as well as games. I hope he comes back.
